Oh, I see now. Doesn't matter what her opposition stood for, just don't vote for a Democrat. Even if the Democrat is the more Conservative. And, I don't care where your Boys Club For Growth goons rank her, the La Oilfield is in support of her because she always fights for more offshore drilling! Looking at the Family Values clown she is running against, I'll probably vote for her too.

Yeah, he did. Taxpayers are on the gig for a new hockey arena, a new university stadium, a new baseball park, a new NFL football stadium in Minnesota. The NFL and pro sport teams are businesses. They should build and own their own venues instead of sucking the public dry. They come here and argue its for the kids, Right! You have to clean out your bank account to take your kid to a game. But we aren't going to spend money to educate him.

At least the auto companies make a durable good. Ball games are a short expensive thrill.

Why is one set of government subsidies wrong in the case of the banks and the car companies and OK for professional sports teams. I need some insight into the conservative mind, here. Enlighten me.

You are arguing apples & oranges - the feds & the states are two different venues - I know no fiscal conservatives who believe in any form of subsidy .

The issue is consistency in philosophy in regard to public funds. State or Federal -- both issues are nationwide, especially when the NFL gets off as a tax exempt entity. You may not be for any type of subsidy, but a lot of conservatives look the other way when a barrel of pork rolls their way.

Having the name does not mean they adhere to the brand - but from your vantage point, a lot of people would qualify as conservative IYM .

\Only a different standard in your mind! I support the most Libertarian politicians, no matter which Party they belong to. Landrieu may lean Liberal but what you fail to consider are the politicians she has run against and what they stood for. Just recently, on another thread you proclaimed yourself to be a Libertarian. Yet, you refuse to support any of the politicians running that are supported by the Libertarian Party. That is what I call hypocritical!

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery. Calvin Coolidge
